Automatic Blog Posting

If you maintain several different blogs concurrently, here are 5 tips to help you better manage multiple blogs. You don’t have to compromise quality of content or quantity of content. Following these simple tips will allow you to keep several blogs up to date and interesting to your visitors.

Original content is always as plus. It helps to prevent your blog visitors from feeling that the information they’re receiving is rehashed. It also gives readers who frequent several of your blogs or subscribe to your RSS feed an incentive to return, because they know your posts will be updated frequently with relevant information they find of interest.

Here are the tips:

1. Keep a diary of your ideas
2. Create a schedule for regular posting
3. Use Google To Find Ideas.
4. Use guest contributors.
5. Automate The Process

Keep a diary. One thing that I’ve learned that has helped me tremendously is keeping a diary of my ideas. I’m always searching for new ideas and concepts to post about. I find these ideas in many ways including through reading materials of other experts, talking with friends, TV, radio, and the newspaper. When I find something that peaks my interest, I simply make a note of it in my diary. It may be a quote, a thought, a URL or even a drawing. This way, I always have a reference point to come back to.

Create A Blogging Schedule. Designating a specific time to post to your blog will increase efficiency and frequency. Rather than posting to your blog as an after-thought or out of guilt, set aside a time to post to your blogs. How you schedule it will be based on your available time. I set aside an hour each day to update my blogs. I simply use my diary, as mentioned above, as a guide for what I want to post about, either based on category or theme.

Use Google To Find Ideas. I use Google Trends, Google Alerts, Amazon.com, and eBay Pulse as some of the sources to find fresh ideas for my posts. Also, because I subscribe to several safe-lists and the list of other online markets; I make a note of the trends that they’re talking about. Google Trends is an excellent source to check the pulse of what’s hot. Likewise, you can set-up Google Alerts based on keywords and schedule the results to be sent directly to your email. Amazon.com and eBay Pulse are also great sources for current trendy topics.

Use Guest Authors. You can always invite a colleague or even a frequent commenter to write a guest post. Of course, you want to be selective about giving people access to post to your blog, but guest authors offer new and different perspectives that can add balance and freshness to your blog posting

Automate Content Posting. Recently I reviewed a great WordPress plug-in called Automatic Blog. Automatic Blog pulls (1-10) complete articles (300+ words) from Articlesbase.com per day into my blog. I set the filter based on keywords and that’s it. Automatic Blog provides me with a variety of high quality articles that I can use to supplement my original posts, providing both quality and quantity of articles. Using this WordPress Plugin I can add both quantity and quality posts to entire categories on my blog without having to write scores of original posts. I write one original post and then automatic blog fills the category with articles. Later, I simply pick and choose the articles I actually want to post.
